I am thinking an extra pair of pants might be in order here. A little extra padding so to speak. Good luck on your adventure. I guess you could look at the bright side and think of it as good exercise. Yea, It sounds silly over here too. Hope you have a good day. Lisa

I have a great idea! What you need is a 'chair lift', like they have at the ski slopes. You wouldn't necessarily have to sit, but even if you stood and just held onto the rope and it pulled you safely from one building to the next...

I'm sure someone's is going to take that idea and run with it. Probably be a millionaire in no time.

that's pretty funny stuff - my mind's eye went a little crazy imagining the possibilities of the icy back stroke!! It IS scarey out there - here in New York we have about 3 feet with a nice shiny icy finish! Deadly merinque!

Nice. Not that I don't enjoy a bit of scooching every now and again myself, but have you considered getting those little traction spike thingies that you can strap on your shoes? :-)We got two pair at Costco for, like $9.
